General
This description contains the specification for the electrical interface between an injection
moulding machine and the ABB robot controller, based on the definitions made by the
Technical Commission of Euromap and SPI (Society of Plastics Industry). There are three
different standards used for the interface between an injection moulding machine and a robot:
The robot interface for Euromap 67 and SPI - AN 146 is implemented in the standard IRC5
controller. For Euromap 12 and SPI - AN 116 an additional converter box outside the cabinet
is plugged on the Euromap 67 interface.

•
Euromap 67 is the current standard which offers double channel security
• Euromap 12 is used for older injection moulding machines which offer only single
channel security.
• SPI is mainly used in North America and exists in two versions: AN 116 wich is an
older standard and offers single channel safety only (similar to EM 12). AN 146 wich
was introduced in October 2006 and differs from AN 112 in that it supports dual
channel safety and some additional control signals (similar to EM 67).
